Leans Traditional
Primary
The film's comedic and ironic treatment of its source material, 'The Taming of the Shrew,' prioritizes entertainment and the theatrical battle of the sexes, rather than explicitly promoting or critiquing specific political ideologies regarding gender roles.
This 1953 musical features traditional casting without intentional race or gender swaps of established roles. Its narrative frames traditional identities neutrally or positively, consistent with the era, and does not incorporate explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The film "Kiss Me Kate" (1953) does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on heterosexual romantic relationships and the comedic dynamics of a theatrical production, providing no portrayal of queer identity or experiences.
The film "Kiss Me Kate" (1953) is a musical comedy based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." It does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes within its narrative, therefore, the rubric's 'No depiction' category applies.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The 1953 film "Kiss Me Kate" is an adaptation of the musical, which itself is based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." All major characters retain their established genders from the original play and musical, with no instances of a character canonically established as one gender being portrayed as another.
The 1953 film "Kiss Me Kate" is an adaptation of the 1948 Broadway musical, which itself is based on Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew." All major characters in the film are portrayed by actors whose race aligns with the implicit racial depiction of the characters in the source material and prior adaptations.
